The problem is against a lot of other teams if you shoot that bad your not gonna be in the game in the 4th quarter, the Warriors jumped on the Suns early and they seem to matchup well against them but against a team like the Spurs they will get blown out if they dont shoot the ball well. Even though it was a small lineup there best starting 5 were Baron, J-Rich, Monte, Jackson, and Harrington cuz they could all hit 3's, run the floor well, and drive to the hole well. Izubuke is coo' but is not as quick as J-Rich whether people want to admit it or not and the most hes scored in the last 5 games is 15 points when J-Rich was always in the 20's in points, i realize they maybe are more deeper this year but regardless there not shooting the ball well and still not to good at free throws.

Because people WAS WATCHING THE GAME.
If it wasnt for the refs in the 4th, thre game would have not been that close. You are not going to win ANY game if you shoot 2-23 in the fourth quarter. You guys are lucky the refs gave you guys 14 free throws.
I think the NBA needs to look at that game because the refs were trying to do something with this game.

Are your serious? Warrios won the game and your complaining about the fouls? It was a 10 Free Throw difference and Sacramento by the way is the Third best team in getting to the foul line next to Dallas and Toronto. You know how I know it was Golden State's night to win? Warriors shot 81% and the average for the team is 68%. A foul is called on anything these days and if you watch basketball you should have noticed this. Players like LeBron, Kobe, McGrady can drive to the Lane and get touched! and get a foul called. Have you heard the saying, If your shots aren't dropping, get to the Free thow line? Thats exactly what Sacramento was doing. Why would they have keept shooting?, When you have a guys like Kevin Martin & Artest who can drive to the basket and draw fouls. Overall though, Sac choked in the 4th quarter.
Did you watch the game? The warriors were called for like 6 fouls in 2 minutes, while there was still like 7 mintues left. There was 2 offensive fouls in a row and one was when the defender was inside the circle thing. Then there was a moving screen that wasnt called but then a queens player tripped over his own feet and the warriors were called for a foul. It looked like the refs were trying to control the game.
It was Golden states night to win because they played defense in the 4th quarter. The queens had the advantage by having 14 points off free throws in the 4th and still couldnt do anything.
It's ok to play for the last 3 minutes like that but you cant play the whole entire 4th quarter like that. If you shoot 2-23 in the 4th, your going to lose.
If stephen Jackson doesnt make those 2 threes at the end of the game, the queens dont choke. The queens got outplayed by a better team, plain and simple.

I dont know what J-Rich your talkin about...the one I remember on the Warriors didn't have the lateral quickness to keep his man infront of him and also couldn't take his man off the dribble consistantly, if at all. Azubuike can do both better than J-Rich..and of course J-Rich scored more points, he took way more shots than Buike and the team relied on him alot more.
as the other fella stated about how "quick" jrich was.......Jrich is athletic, not quick....two different things !!! His handles are very sketchy, although his shot was improving, the trade gives us much needed flexability, and if BWright gets better, everyones gonna love the trade. He was the posterboy for the W's for a long time, but now it's BAron's team, and everyone see's how important Jacko, Ellis, Barns, Beans & Al is !! GO DUBS
^I dont know where the "weak work ethic" label came from. He plays smart fundamental basketball and worked his way from being a D-league player to an NBA starter in one year. It may be true that he has a bad work ethic but IMO you wouldn't know by watching him play. He's usually the 3rd scoring option(at best) when on the floor but still quietly does his work. For the money he is making, I have no complaints..
Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. That was after their win against the Clippers (11/16/07) at home before they went on their road trip. Jackson is the glue that holds this team together. With him back, everybody can continue to play their normal roles as they did last year.
1-6 without Stephen Jackson
7-1 with in the lineup
The proof is...

So your telling me your good Free Throw shooting had nothing to do with you guys winning the game? If the Warriors shot their normal 65 to 68% free throw percentage this would have been a different game.
Why not play like that the whole quarter? If the Warriors were in a shooting slump, wouldn't you want them to start driving or getting in the post to draw some fouls? I would think you would, and the kings did a good job of it but, 2-23 is really bad and 99% of the time when a team shoots like that in the 4th they're going to lose. Overall it was good defensive stand by both teams because Warriors and Kings are two of the worst defensive teams in the league, by the way Stephen Jackson has turned this team around. He's one of my favorite players in the league and its real good to see him succeed after that brawl at The Palace.
